  [HanCinema's Drama Review] "Boy and Girl from the 20th Century" Episodes 7-8
  2017/10/17
  The opening title of this episode is "Christmas in August", a fairly explicit reference to the classic nineties South Korean film. So instead of thinking about the plot this time, I decided to ask myself- what's the title supposed to mean? It obviously isn't just a random pop culture reference. Viewed by that rubric, as being sort of a mystery, "Boy and Girl From the 20th Century" ends up being quite a bit more watchable, as we're fed several snippets of backstory that eventually culminate in a satisfying explanation,...More

  Since his 2003 debut in "Old Boy", the most famous South Korean film of all time, the path of actor Yoo Yeon-seok has been a fascinating one. From dry spells, to "overnight success" in the TV drama, "Answer Me 1994"; Yoo has constantly reinvented himself in both character roles in films like "A Werewolf Boy", "Architecture 101", "The Royal Tailor" and "Whistle Blower", and romantic leads in "Beauty Inside" and "Love, Lies".  I'm very honoured to present my exclusive interview with Yoo Yeon-seok, his first to a US publication. We spoke days before the confirmation of his newest role in the upcoming TV drama, "Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim" (About which I did ask, but was not allowed by his agency to receive an answer due to the upcoming announcement.).

  "The Himalayas" is, in fact, not really a story about mountaineering and its perils. To be sure, there is quite a bit of mountaineering and very deathly perils, but that is not the focus of Director Lee Seok-hoon's ("Pirates") alpine piece that is based on a true tale. Rather than an exploration of the cold wonders of the Himalayas, it is an exploration of friendship that survives extreme physical and emotional duress and transcends death.

Nothing is fully resolved quite yet, and indeed, as the cliffhanger reminds us, most of the adult characters really aren't even aware of what's going on romance-wise. That's because the major setpiece is a love letter to the parents of "Answer Me 1988"- the ones who did their best for their kids, and each other, and who will always have a loving community in thanks for that,...More

It looks like the characters are just hanging around in the same neighborhood and the same houses they were this entire time and yet somehow, everything looks a tad shinier. A tad cooler. Especially the characters themselves. Note how Taek very nearly appears cool and attractive now, even though he mostly acts the same. What's causing these changes? The haircuts? The beer?

  With this episode "Answer Me 1988" attempts to explain why its story, to the extent this drama has a story at all, moves so slowly and with so little apparent inertia. Somewhat paradoxically, the reason for this is that the characters are mostly doing all right. They're happy. And the surest way to risk destroying happiness is through radical change. Making a love confession requires courage, not because we're scared of rejection, but because we're scared that the possible potential change could be for the worse,...More

  The theme this episode is love- nothing too excessive.

It needs to be noted, once again, that this romance has a fairly unusual dynamic because these two literally grew up together. For them, dating isn't really a "get-to-know-you" thing because they already know each other,...More

However, it made a hit with a few elements such as the 90s, retro, dialect and entertainment. "Answer Me 1997" had many merits but what stood out the most was the balance between comedy and drama. It reached its peak in the sequel "Answer Me 1994". The main things about the "Answer" series were the characters who were comical although it wasn't comedy and the way the characters created entertainment in each episode.

Their latest release, "Marriage Over Love", looks to continue the trend of strong romcoms. The premise is simple enough, Kong Ki Tae (Yeon Woo-jin) is a man who refuses to get married despite the constant demands of his family to do so. He's resorted to throwing every single one of his blind dates and learning how to play others for his own personal gain,...More

  [HanCinema's Film Review] "The Sunshine Boys"
  2014/03/01
  This is a movie about a road trip. Not a very good road trip, given that there's not really anywhere to go, but the characters don't know that. When Min-wook (played by Kim Chang-wan) and Sang-won (played by Shim Hee-seop) set out, there's genuine joy. It's just exciting for them to be out on their own admiring the snow draped scenery of the Korean mountains, and listening to cassette tapes, because this is 1999. Yes, that's right, "The Sunshine Boys" is another film from the tradition of 90's nostalgia,...More

  [HanCinema's Drama Review] "Answer Me 1994" Episode 21 Final
  2013/12/28
  The camera deliberately tantalizes us this episode. It constantly feels like we're just going to be one misstep away from Na-jeong's husband being suddenly and unexpectedly revealed, but no, those little pitter patters are just the inevitable outcropping of having nonprofessional friends videotape a wedding. If nothing else, "Answer Me 1994" certainly ends the same way it started out- mocking the viewer and getting away with it because comedy. For what it's worth, the question is resolved with a fair amount of time to go before the final true ending, and the episode hits the same hard notes it did with the apparent break-ups we had last time,...More

  [HanCinema's Drama Review] "Answer Me 1994" Episode 20
  2013/12/27
  Romantic separation is the byword this time around, as the relationship between Na-jeong and Rubbish is (apparently) fully severed. The scene where this gets established carries a lot of emotional punch. As we saw earlier, they never really technically broke up. It was just that their sustained interest couldn't survive Na-jeong spending extended time working overseas. They're still both clearly heavily emotionally invested in each other, but once again, they've pretty much moved on. Something "Answer Me 1994" has done very well is using the setting of the nineties, and the limited technology therein, to establish limitations,...More

  For the most part we return back to the status quo of "Answer Me 1994" here, where we see how even though the nineties are almost behind our cast, generally their situation remains unaltered. Everybody's still living in the Seong family boarding house, though we seem to be drawing ever closer to the moment when those days will end. Binggrae and Haitai are constantly easily distracted by their girlfriends. It's cute watching them be the ones to interrupt family gatherings for once, mostly because they've always been hovering in the background,...More

Finally free from the rigors of mandatory military service, he returns to normal life. And even though everybody is now two years older...very little has actually changed about his dating situation. Sure, Haitai can meet ladies, but he inevitably ends up losing them in the saddest most comical of ways. I love the despondency on his face near the end of this plotline, when Haitai just can't make up his mind whether to even try anymore,...More

  Binggrae's adventures with friends unrelated to the main cast continue. I think it's pretty clear at this point that his wallflower-like appearance in the drama isn't just an excuse of the script not having much for him to do. This is the essential part of his personality that seems to follow him everywhere. It's not the most exciting storyline, granted, but the way his plotline finally resolves is just plain adorable, and leaves a nice warm fuzzy feeling. We're in more ambiguous territory with Na-jeong and Rubbish, whose more madcap adventures hit another apex in a bizarre flashback,...More

  2013/12/13
  We really don't get to do much with Binggrae. Of the four potential suitors, the odds that he's Na-jeong's husband are by the far the most distant. So there's typically not a whole for him to actually do. "Answer Me 1994" appears to acknowledge that this episode, giving us a storyline centered almost entirely around Binggrae where he doesn't he really do anything. His general lack of character development in itself appears to be the narrative focus. The social event where he spends most of his time here bears a striking similarity to those earlier episodes where everybody has just got in from the country and wasn't really sure what to do yet,...More

  While last episode focused on the fuzzy, happy parts of the new relationship between Na-jeong and Rubbish, this one begins to take a more pragmatic view by showing us what their day-to-day life is in the household. I was rather curious why Na-jeong's parents didn't show up in the last episode, and the reason for that is made clear here very quickly. They have no idea that Na-jeong and Rubbish are seeing each other in a romantic light now. Or at least, they're pretending that they don't,...More

  [HanCinema's Drama Review] "Answer Me 1994" Episode 14
  2013/12/06
  There's a great nineties aesthetic going on throughout this episode. "Answer Me 1994", like almost any drama produced today, is ultimately a product of popular current-day writing tropes and situations. In this episode, that scenario is conversations that are both emotionally stunted and emotionally expressive, as participants try to express themselves as much as they can without risking offending the other person. The nineties music selection here is amazingly well-suited to these scenes, communicating a particular sadness and intimacy that just doesn't seem to go far enough. Incidentally, there's another giant time jump this episode. At this rate we'll almost certainly get a cameo from the drama's predecessor. At first this might seem to be a cheat- Na-jeong and Rubbish are finally couple, and we're skipping over all of that just to watch a relationship that's several months in? But the narrative reasons for this are sound,...More

  The despair that accompanied the end of the last episode is pretty much over and done with as the drama returns back into more traditional territory. This time around the narrative structure is unusually cohesive, as a mystery is prompted at the beginning of the episode concerning Na-jeong's wedding, and a somewhat unusual event that took place there which seems inexplicable to a random outside observer. Music is involved. And so it is with the first setpiece, a trip to the music room,...More

  2013/11/29
  Part of the advantage of "Answer Me 1994" taking place over such a long period of time (we are, at this point, definitively in 1995) is that the romantic plotting gets a lot more room to breathe. Since there's no pressure to fully resolve all the lovelines within a few months, we often get to see extended reflective scenes where characters just sort of realize that even after several months not a whole lot has really happened. This episode contrasts this by making it quite clear that in this much time, several relevant things have happened,...More

  [HanCinema's Film Review] "Non-fiction Diary"

  As the popular drama "Answer Me 1994" notes, there was all sorts of crazy stuff going on in Korea that year. Who could forget those cheerful episodes where the radical wealth distribution group the Jijonpa kidnapped and murdered people, then proceeded to dine on their succulent flesh? Or what about when the Seongsoo Bridge and Sampoong Department Store collapsed, a massive loss of human life caused by those same wealthy plutocrats the Jijonpa so desperately wanted to eat? Oh, right. those particular events rather go against the spirit of that particular drama, as they were terrible bad things that shined a rather nasty light on the whole era,...More

We now have two couples who are pretty clearly in requited love now, but spending too time on them is just kind of boring.

  This episode goes for a change of scenery and a rather extreme time-skip- I know I've been complaining about how the drama seemed stuck in summertime but I didn't think it would go this far. Although it's an appropriate enough step to take- if anything has been made clear it's that our various main characters are really bad at confessing their feelings of love, so it's understandable that it takes a momentous event to actually make them step up their game. Even if it's just a holiday. Yes, that's right- we finally get to love confessions and I have to admit, they were well worth the wait,...More

  I guess it's too late for Yoon-jin to be the main character. That's a little disappointing- I love it every time she shows up onscreen simply because Yoon-jin is such a catalyst for action. She doesn't just sit around and wait for stuff to happen- she forcefully takes the steps necessary to insure that things go her way. Or maybe that's just my own preference for slapstick- given that we already know who her husband is going to be, it's not like there's much more she can do in the actual plot. On that front, our main characters spend the better part of this episode preoccupied with one of those magic image books. I never could figure out how those were supposed to work,...More

  [HanCinema's Drama Review] "Answer Me 1994" Episode 8
  2013/11/09
  It's still summertime. Not even a specific month either, just summertime in general, just like the last few episodes. The drama is treading over the same ground and I must confess it's getting a little tiring. There are only so many episodes about nothing that can be produced before the reader finally starts to wonder, hey, is anything actually going to happen or is it just going to be an endless summer? For what it's worth, what little plot there is this time around is fairly interesting,...More

  [HanCinema's Drama Review] "Answer Me 1994" Episode 7
  2013/11/08
  Summer continues in 1994 as characters continue to find ways to beat the heat. I'm not an expert, but I'm going to guess that air conditioning was not yet a universal thing during this time in South Korea, given the schemes characters resort to in order to stay cool. A heat wave can bring about that kind of madness- that a person is willing to look completely ridiculous just as long as they feel well-aerated. Well, except for Yoon-jin anyway. She never cared about appearances in the first place,...More

  [HanCinema's Drama Review] "Answer Me 1994" Episode 6
  2013/11/02
  The broader theme of this episode is fatherhood. Sung Dong-il is a dad to all the college-age boys living in his house- and not in the easy categories of strict dad or fun dad. He's the kind of dad who demands the very best from his surrogate sons because he knows they can deliver. Even when Sung Dong-il ends up getting more than he bargained for, there's always that same front that really emphasizes how much he cares,...More

  This episode has a lot of focus on Yoon-jin. Do-hee puts a fairly convincing spin as the girl who has no nice side, no friends, and for the most part is perfectly fine with having all her social interactions be basically hostile ones. Who here has met a person like that in real life, particularly during university? Do you think that person had a secret fuzzy personality underneath? No, of course not. Why would you? Her character as a whole really emphasizes a lot of how this episode works, as get back to more general comedy. The opening scene is an extremely large meal,...More

  [HanCinema's Drama Review] "Answer Me 1994" Episode 4
  2013/10/26
  The drama continues moving in the largely emotional territory that predominated the last episode. This time, rather than dealing with immediate attachments- the issue is loss. Don't worry- nobody dies or anything this time around. It's mostly just reflection on events in the backstory. Also making an appearance is a subplot involving a night club that's not particularly impressive. For some reason, I assumed when the nightclub first appeared that we were actually going to get to see what was inside it,...More

  [HanCinema's Drama Review] "Answer Me 1994" Episode 3
  2013/10/25
  There are two essential jokes this episode. One is the story of a bunch of kids on the cusp of their twenties engaging in an elaborate drinking game. Where the last one wins...respect, I guess. Second, another set of characters is driving in a car. Quite a bit of a luxury to people from rural districts who are probably old enough to remember a time when people still used horse-drawn carriages. But this inevitably runs into its own pitfalls, particularly in the untrusting world of modern-day Seoul. The humor in these plotlines is passable. They're not terrible jokes, but this episode by and large lacks the creative dazzle of the gags in the first two episodes,...More

  2013/10/19
  The full cast comes out this episode, and the already crowded house becomes outrageously cramped. Personality clashes abound as characters are forced to share space with strangers while realizing that, for better or worse, they're all going to be stuck like this for the long term. The storyline finally gets something we can call a reasonable plot hook- and it's fairly unclear how any of the current choices are supposed to work out solely in the context of the series' 1994-centered flashback,...More

  Ah, the gay nineties. An age where everything had to be done via VHS tape, where editors everywhere had discovered and began overusing slow motion in conjunction with overwrought musical chords. When phone conversations only ever happened at home, and the ringing sound was not an ironic one. When getting to new unseen places required following complicated directions that couldn't be double-checked. When stalking celebrities required excessive effort and intelligence,...More
